An NYPD cop who claimed that a Brooklyn man tried to run him down in a driveway — only to be exposed as a liar by crystal-clear surveillance video — resigned from the force, but got only a wrist-slap jail sentence, The Post has learned.

Diego Palacios pleaded guilty on Feb. 7 in Brooklyn Supreme Court to writing a false report, and was ordered to spend four days behind bars, law-enforcement sources said.

But Palacios served only a single night in the clink, as state law mandates that inmates are to be released on Friday if their discharge date lands on a weekend.

that alone is BS, but it's worse when you consider what the INNOCENT citizen was at risk of for this lying ass piece of crap cop.....

Palacios eventually slapped cuffs on Hockenjos, claiming in a police report that the enraged engineer had tried to mow him down with a car.

The stunned Hockenjos was charged with first-degree felony reckless endangerment, which carries a maximum sentence of up to seven years, and was carted off to jail for three days.

But the tide turned in his favor when a video surfaced that revealed what really happened.

The surveillance footage from a nearby camera showed that Hockenjos slowly pulled into the driveway, while the responding cop calmly stood still.

The eight-year NYPD veteran was then indicted last May for allegedly making the false arrest.

Hockenjos turned the evidence over to NYPD Internal Affairs, and the charges against him were subsequently dropped.

so 'USING THEY SYSTEM', this POS Cop tried to ruin a mans life forever, and when he got busted, was able to resign (keeping his pension intact) and spend only a single night in jail. Since it doesn't ention anything about surrendering his certificate to be a cop, so I wonder if he'll show up in another department soon.
